I'm using fedora 15 on my HP G42 laptop, I didn't install any particular packages for access web camera.Does the default OS support access web camera or Do I need to install any software package for that?
installed UBUNTU Linux to my laptop, but my webcamera and mic not working in UBUNTU.checked sound settings, is all unmute. I downloaded GNOME Alsa MIxer, PulseAudio etc but nothing happened...I read other topics, someone said to type that commands (may be helpful to understand any problem i have -?-) "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec"--> Codec: Realtek ALC275"cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" --> cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: No such file or directory
I have a camera in my house and would like to monitor it on my computer under Linux, but I am having problems with Zoneminder.I have a capture card with chip 878A (properly working), but Zoneminder don't show any image or data from the card.I installed Zapping (television program for Gnome) and the camera/card works, presented as device /dev/video0.I followed the steps in the Zoneminder's Wiki, but unsuccessfully.
Finally got around to dual-booting and all was going well. I was surprised to see that the webcam on my Vaio worked straight away. However, some time between one boot and another the webcam mysteriously stopped working..
Here is the last time it worked:
Jun 6 23:12:51 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:1837) Jun 6 23:12:51 dillinga kernel: input: UVC Camera (05ca:1837) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input12
Then the next boot:
Jun 6 23:41:48 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:1837) Jun 6 23:41:48 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround. Jun 6 23:41:48 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -32 (exp. 26).
[code]....
So I decided to boot into windows and make sure all was OK - and it was. Then I came back into Fedora and suddenly the camera was working again! I thought I'd reboot just to see if anything changed and alas here I am again with no webcam and the same error.
I had my Canon DV camcorder working well with Kino for capture in Fedora 11. I upgraded to F12 recently and tried to capture some video tonight. It does not seem to even recognize my camera.My card: 02:08.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW322/323 (rev 04)My kernel: 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAEI read somewhere about installing ieee1394 kernel modules from ATRPMs and rebuilding the kernel but
I was looking to iphone and i was surprised the quality of such tiny camera.
Is there any alternative camera for my laptop to have similar or much better then the one in iphone? So that i can use it from my laptop, but have very sharp HD quality with maximum megapixel + highest frame per second.
I've a issue on Skype 2.1 beta, my Ubuntu version is Karmic Koala. Well, my camera works perfectly in guvcview and in skype test (I already modified config.xml in my user dir to have 640x480, my cam is Ricoh r5870). OK, as soon as I start my video or I get itautomatically started it goes 320x240 and very bad. I turn it off during the call and I restart it: it works perfectly. Could I solve this issue by telling skype to open the video "just like if it were the second time" ?
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) from Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) on my Samsung R580 laptop [URL] So far all my hardware seems to be working except the laptop's integrated camera. In 10.04 the camera worked and I could use the program "Cheese" to take photos and videos with the camera. In 10.10 I installed Cheese and tried to use my laptop's camera but it didn't work. I installed all the available updates for 10.10 but still the camera wouldn't work. The only information about the camera on the laptop's webpage is that it is a 1.3 MP Web Camera.
Today I was creating an Ad Hoc network for sharing internet connection and I realized it is not working. I have done it before on Ubuntu 10.10, now on 11.04 it just doesn't work. I create a new connection (Create New Wireless Network) and it is never visible to the other computers (I checked the IPv4 settings, it was Shared to Other Computers). I really do not know what is going on, my wireless card is working perfectly fine (I can connect to other network and on additional driver it is there with a green circle).
i just fixed my old-ish laptop (pop accident) and instead of putting window on it my dad talked me into trying ubuntu out, gotta say love it, fast and everything but having major problems. i have a lenovo 3000 v200. everything is the same as out of the box except the keyboard, only thing i really needed to replace. ok problems
1) wireless is not working: i have the switch on (side of the laptop) and bluetooth lights up but wireless doesnt. (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG). now i just learned about 'rfkill list' it shows that there is a soft block on the wireless. tried " rfkill unblock 0" nothing happened. also when i tried finding out wat kernel im using " uname-r" to find out more on why its not unblocking, the CLI says "comand isnt found" next two problems are small but are still frustrating
2) built in camera: the green light is on next to the lens but when trying to test the camera on skype or a photo program the video feed/ picture is black, or blank. not sure what i can do to fix that.
3) fingerprint scanner: yes i have one, i know its not efficient but I still like using it to login in instead of typing. im not sure how to get linux/ubuntu to recognize it if it even is. not sure how to set it up if it is recognized.
i would like to fix the wireless more than anything, if i can fix the camera and scanner then yeay, otherwise i can survive. oh and note i did try using the "additional drivers" app. nothing popped up.
I'm a little bit confused with partitioning the filesystem in Linux. the difference between creating the file system with fdisk and mkfs (when formatting the disk). I can't clearly tell my problem, so please look at this picture:
We've got one of those fancy, modern digital cameras and it's great for taking pictures, but I'd love to back those pictures up, too. When I connect the camera via its USB cable to my computer, the OS just doesn't "see" the camera/connection. Nothing shows up in fdisk -l. However, when I connect my mobile phone or USB HD via the same port, they show up in fdisk and can be mounted without any problem. The scary thing is that on my partner's laptop, running gNewSense (with Gnome), it (auto)mounts without any problems. The camera is a NIkon Coolpix L20 with an SD card.
I have a phone Fly Q110 which can be used in the web camera mode. Under Windows all works well out of the box, but under Linux no program can use it, neither Skype, nor Cheese does.Please tell me how can I make it work under Linux because buyng Windows will be more expensive than the phone itself.
I plug my camera into my computer and a window pops that says a camera has been detected. There are two buttons, "Ignore" and "Import Photos". I click on "Import Photos" and nothing happens. I'm wondering if I can just navigate to a folder where I might find the pictures, kinda like /media/cdrom/ to get to a cd.
I recently did an upgrade to ubunut 10.04. I have a nikon d70 that I plugged into the computer to download the pictures off of but to my surprise my computer no longer sees the camera. I did a search and found a few threads about USB cameras and skype but nothing about this issue. Is there anyone else having this problem?
Is there a fix for it? So far everything has been working OK with UBUNTU 10.04 I would hate to go back to windows xp only because I am not able to download the pictures from my camera.
I installed skype on my linux distribution (Linux singh-VGN-CR35G-L 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) but when i make video calls the camera doesnt work. I checked with the lsusb command ...it confirmed the availability...even when i Tried to run Cheese..it gave me error "No device found"
I installed luvcview and when I Tried to run it...it gave me following error....
Which has great quality (eg. 1.3MP or 2MP) and is working fine in your linux distro?I am trying to make a faste survey which of the latest web cameras work nicely in Linux.
I have a Swann DVR4-2500 Security DVR with a Seagate SV series 500 Gig hard drive. I'm trying to offload the camera footage. The hard drive is formatted with Linux but dont know what kind. Would any type be able to help?
I bought a Toshiba notebook and I debian install the latest came out, along with programs up there, so good. Install the latest pidgin 2.8 and compile it, that was fine. When I wanted to test the webcam in pidgin, I do not work. Abri a chat window with a user and I get a option name "MEDIA" and displayed the "do called "sending camera" "Start Video Call" but the problem is that they are as dull, does not allow me selected. Surely it is why they are off, but I honestly do not know how to activate or turn them on.
I have a compact-flash card that has some corruptions. I woiuld like to try to fix this by copying out the data from the flashcard using ddrescue or something and then trying to fix the filesystem outside the flash.
BUT Fedora does not allow me to really mount / make a block device of the usb-device, so I can not use ddrescue to copy out the disk-image.
Why is my Nikon camera not a block device, and then the other "GUI-applications" triggered on that device in stead?
We need to export images to camera but digikam does not support this feature. Is there any linux program that supports export to camera. Open Suse 11.3
